MULTI-CAST CONNECTION CONTROL METHOD AND SWITCHING NODE TERMINAL FOR REALIZING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method where internal header information identifying internal connection in a switching node is related to external header information identifying external connection for executing an output to the outside of the switching node as against the transfer type of data packets with different kinds of internal connection in a switching network including a plurality of switching nodes respectively which respectively have switching node terminals. SOLUTION: Internal header information includes a connection reference number CRN, the transfer type is related to internal connection, the transfer type is decided by a decision module DETMOD, relation is executed to a transfer type independent connection reference number TTI-CRN which is assigned by the switching node terminal SNT based on the transfer type where the connection reference number CRN is decided and external header information EHI is related to the transfer type independent connection reference number TTI-CRN.
